I got box <a href=\"http:\/\/tgimboej.org\/Box_Code:_INTJ-7\">INTJ-7<\/a> which had been shipped out by a nice guy from San Diego. I don&#8217;t have a lot to say now (and no pictures) but I&#8217;d like to share some of what I got out of it. Perhaps my biggest find was right on top: a Hand Held Products IT4410 2D barcode scanner. On the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.honeywellaidc.com\/Site.aspx\/na\/en\/support\/technical_support\/retired_products\/retired\/?product=33\">product page<\/a> I found the\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.honeywellaidc.com\/download.aspx\/44-4710+UG+.pdf?download=\/data\/57bcf1c7-a155-4520-9031-4fc0aac5db7f.pdf\">manual<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/dl.owneriq.net\/0\/01135fd7-73fa-4351-a685-a9b05408a412.pdf\">manual<\/a> (pdf link) which explains all of its features.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-163\" title=\"hhp4410hd\" src=\"http:\/\/sethjust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/hhp4410hd.jpg\" alt=\"HHP 4410HD Barcode Scanner\" width=\"80\" height=\"80\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It turns out that the scanner emulates a PS\/2 keyboard and will read almost any 1D or 2D barcode <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Barcode#Symbologies\">symbology<\/a>. After a few hijinks with a loose ribbon cable and flaky PS\/2 support on my computer I got the scanner working perfectly. I was even able to change its configuration by scanning barcodes from the manual displayed on my LCD (though I don&#8217;t know if it will work with glossy screens &#8212; mine is matte).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m planning on putting up a more complete summary of what I&#8217;ve found, but here are a few other things that caught my eye:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A solenoid-controlled <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Proportioning_valve\">proportional valve<\/a> for small pneumatics or hydraulics.<\/li>\n<li>A bag of large rubber grommets, one of which I cut up to replace the feet on a table lamp.<\/li>\n<li>Three matched stepper motors.<\/li>\n<li>A worm-gearbox connected to a large motor with integrated optical encoder.<\/li>\n<li>A wide variety of IR LED\/phototransistor gates.<\/li>\n<li>A pile of 1.8V, 2.5V and 3.3V voltage regulators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stay tuned for pictures and more details on what I&#8217;m taking and what I&#8217;m going to do with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know it&#8217;s taken me a long time to post this, but I received my box of migratory junk on May 10!
